JUTHAPAK | Full-Time English Course | 2014

Frankly, I had (an) unforgettable experience in inlingua. The classes are intense; not only (the) contents of lecture, but also people are amazing. I could feel diversity in a class room.

In addition to the classes, private lessons are literally perfect. Michael is (one of the most) helpful, supportive and enthusiastic teacher I have ever seen.

So, I have to say that I'm really satisfied with my days in inlingua and want to thank all of you!

YOSHIAKI | Full-Time English Course | 2014

I wanted to learn English and Chinese in a foreign country during mY university's spring vacation for 2 months. So firstly, I chose Singapore. Then I searched (for a) language school and decided to learn at inlingua.

There were many students from many countries. In my English class, students were from Spain, Poland, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea and Japan. It was my first time learn(ing) English with foreign people, the differences of culture and the way of thinking were really interesting. I found that foreign people (may) know about Japan better than me!!

I learnt English for first 1 month, and I spent my last 1 months for Chinese.
My Chinese teacher taught me Chinese in Chinese, but they explained about difficult grammar or sentences in English. My classmates were from Thailand and India, so we helped each other in English when we had questions. We could communicate in English trying to use Chinese words. That was (a) very good point for me because I think this helped me a lot to to increase my English ability, not only Chinese.

I could also meet many Japanese (here).
For me, I think I couldn't enjoy my time in Singapore if my Japanese friends were not kind to me.

And there is also (an) important thing to say... inlingua has many opportunities to communicate with your teachers in addition to lessons. All of them are really kind to students. The Receptionists and Admissions Executives too. For example, they told me how to take a bus or about good restaurants in Singapore.

Singapore has many good places to visit, there are very tasty food and people have great energy. It's a good place to learn language. If possible, I'd like to go back to Singapore and inlingua right now.

inlingua gave me a great opportunity to meet and communicate with many people from many countries. It's my lifetime treasure.

KOTOHA | Full-Time English and Chinese Course | 2014

At first, the reason why I decided to come to inlingua was partly because they were very nice to me in emails. When I came here, I realised they are really this way. All of them (staff and teachers) are wonderful people and make you feel like a friend. They are always trying to help you.

Classes are very interesting and it focuses on improving your communication skills, something very important to me.

Talking about classmates, I must say this was for me the best because everyone is very friendly and I can say I made very close friends here. I think that the atmosphere in this school transmit positivism and infects us all.

ALMA | Full-Time English Course | 2014

I'm so sad now, because I have to go back to Japan tonight. My 3 weeks in inlingua has ended today. Time flies...

Actually before I came here, I hadn't expected too much. But now I feel totally opposite. Good environment, great teachers, friendly staff and awesome friends from all over the world!! Spain, France, Korea, Cambodia, Vietnam, Mongolia etc.

The experiences in Singapore and what I learned in inlingua will be my treasure. Thank you everyone. :)

P.S.: Oh and I really liked the materials that you chose for the Advanced Class.

MIKA | Full-Time English Course | 2014

"Thank you for everything. One month in Singapore was a great time for me! inlingua gave me many valuable experiences. I could enjoy and forget about my job.

I think that my English skills have improved a lot. The people of inlingua were very nice. I'll never forget the people of inlingua. What's more, if I come to Singapore again, I'll surely visit inlingua.

YUJIRO | Full-Time English Course | 2014

Some teachers are kinda and friendly. Staff are so friendly and helpful. I can concentrate on my studies.

YUI | Full-Time English Course | 2014

"Thank you for your help since before Thanarat joined the school. I have to thank you for your help and assistance to Thanarat's smooth enrollment. Without your help and advice, I would probably 'lost' in getting her to school and her extension of course. She has been happy studying at the school during the past 4 months, meeting up new friends and nice Inlingua staffs have kept her happy. Time flies I must say.

I'm delighted with Thanarat taking up English course at Inlingua. Both of us are grateful to you and the rest of your colleagues who have helped us. Thank you once again for your help." - Marcus

Thank you for your help and guidance. I have a memorable time spent with the staff and teachers. Most of the teachers are able to convey the knowledge and show passion in teaching.

THANARAT | Full-Time English Course | 2014

Days at inlingua were more than I expected!! This school has changed a lot compared to the last time I studied at about 15 years ago in many ways. Curriculum, the quality of staff, teachers and more. Students' motivations were high in my class. You can make progress in (learning) English and enjoy at the same time! I definitely recommend this school to my friends.

I appreciate Rufina's extended service!! Aminah was also very helpful!! Love Chris' lesson a lot!!

YAYOI | Full-Time English Course | 2013

Great teachers, great times!!

TOMOUMI | Full-Time English Course | 2013

Learn the basic skills for the preparation for IELTS in short time, helpful teacher and conducive learning environment!

French

German

My German teacher, Stephanie, was very approachable and helpful. She was willing to answer all questions to the best of her abilities and also made sure the whole class understood the teaching material before carrying on with new material.

Ryan S. | Part-Time German Course | 2017

The 1-1 Classes were very helpful and the teachers are patient and understanding. They can adjust to your personal needs very easily. Thank you!

SIDDARTH SREERAM | Individual 1:1 German Course | 2014

Not much contact with the school apart from the lecturer, which I found to be very helpful and good.

SHEAU ING | Part-Time German Course | 2013

I like the fact that it focuses more on speaking first. And the course is taught by native-speaker, which helps in understanding both the language and the culture.

ERNY | Part-Time German Course | 2013

I am taking the elementary German part-time course at Inlingua. It's very engaging and interactive and I'm pretty impressed with the way they teach! I have taken language courses at other schools, but I feel this is the only school that teaches me to speak a language well, on top of merely knowing to write/read it. During lessons, we are always being asked to engage in conversation with the teacher/our classmates. I estimate that each student in my class is asked to speak up about 15 -20 times per lesson. Also, because there is a cap on the class size, the teacher is able to give his attention to every single one of us students and correct our pronunciations individually. Which is very helpful! I would definitely recommend this school!

MEICHUN | Part-Time German Course | 2013

Soon to complete my second module of the German language course, I'm happy to say that I enjoy my classes and I like my German language teacher - Sabine. She is a good teacher and is very friendly and helpful, which makes the learning experience fun and beneficial for all of us in class. I'm glad I have chosen inlingua and I believed my classmates would say the same too!

LING LING | Part-Time German Course | 2012

The school is located at a very convenient location and the courses are priced reasonably. The timings of the classes are good and Inlingua offers more variety in terms of the frequency of classes. My two German teachers are pleasant. They speak minimal English, which is good because it makes you think in the foreign language you are learning. They could do with better facilities, perhaps at the very least, set up a water dispenser in place for their students.

Italian

Federica is very enthusiastic and could share real-life experiences of what Italy has to offer. She is also good at encouraging us, when giving answers to questions, to say more than is required so as to increase our vocabulary.

Doris T. | Part-Time Italian Course | 2017

"Excellent course. I learnt enough in the first module to hopefully be an independent traveller next month that I'm off to Italy. Can't wait to practice! Teacher deserves 5 stars for competence and patience!"

Russian

I am especially grateful to both my Russian teachers, Guzel and Natalia at Inlingua for their patience and friendliness guiding me and my classmates through the many months of study.

Russian is not an easy language to learn, BUT it can be fun and enjoyable when the learning is interactive, and is made interesting. Of course, not forgetting nice classmates to learn the language with. Inlingua has all of that!

I went from knowing almost nothing about Russian to being able to make simple conversations in Russian.

Spanish

My teacher - Crystal is a very patient and passionate teacher. Even if we ask the same questions several times (at different days of the lesson) she is still very enthusiastic to reply and even quote different examples to highlight the descriptions. At this age (65years old) I am lucky to be taught by her, she not only patience with me but her presence made me confident and enthusiastic to learn Español.

Theresa L. | Part-Time Spanish Course | 2017

I learned Spanish in Inlingua from February to April 2017 and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The school makes it easy to learn with the comprehensive teaching materials. Classes are kept small so it's very interactive, making it easier to learn a foreign language. I had a wonderful teacher who was warm, patient and made learning fun.

Teshwindar K. | Part-Time Spanish Course | 2017

The teachers at Inlingua are all extremely helpful and approachable, and classes are conducted in a fun and interactive way. The environment is great for anyone who is studying there.

Chinese

My Chinese has (been) getting better and better, provide very helpful materials, also getting more motivated because my teacher was excellent! Thanks to inlingua!

Ruby O | Part-Time Chinese Course | 2017

Ke Qin is a great teacher, very friendly and really goes the extra mile for her students by thinking of ways we can improve ourselves outside class. She is not just a teacher but also a coach on how to speak more Mandarin! Ee all look forward to coming back each week to her class.

Marieke E. | Part-Time Chinese Course | 2017

Comprehensive teaching materials. Teachers are very patient and always ready to answer as many questions as required.

Pallabi S. | Part-Time Chinese Course | 2017

My 9-month- long Chinese course in Inlingua is now over. I dare say I have made a great improvement, because I started from the very beginning “ni hao”.

I think great thing about learning Chinese in Inlingua is that you get to practice and review a lot. For me, memorizing new vocabularies always has been a problem in learning a new language. I felt that the materials that I learned in each lesson is just the right amount. I had enough time to digest the meaning and usages in class. This allowed me to have less pressure and prevented me from giving up learning Chinese. In fact, I think I may have developed more and more interest in them!

Teachers put a lot of effort in making sure that students understand the materials. For instance, they review a lot and especially, make you to use the vocabularies, or structures to form a sentence. I think this really helped me to grasp the meaning and sometimes it made me realize that I actually did not understand it after all.

In Inlingua, classes are not that big so that the students can get the appropriate amount of attention from the teachers. Smaller class, more attention from teachers, more chance of speaking and practicing!

Last, but not least, the staffs at Inlingua are VERY nice and friendly. Also, I got as much help as a foreign full time student can get from the staffs. Staffs also occasionally arrange some events like barbeque party, or going on a walk, etc., which is a great chance of getting along with students in other classes.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience in here.

Thank you so much Inlingua!

KOTOHA | Full-Time English and Chinese Course | 2014

In three months, I learnt a lot about Chinese culture and customs apart from nuances of the Chinese language. Friendly and helpful teachers and support staff, a liberal study atmosphere and an extremely well-structured course all added up to a wonderful study experience.

The well-defined lessons and appropriate assessment sessions considerably simplified my learning experience (even for someone like me - with no significant background in the subject), but even better was the perceptible change in my attitude towards learning that I felt throughout the course.

I strongly recommend any prospective student to pursue a program at inlingua singapore because I believe it will bring about a remarkable change in perspective and attitudes towards learning, which will stand them in good stead all trough their future endeavours in life.

I thoroughly enjoyed my study here and wish to thank everyone for making it such a memorable one.

SATHYA | Intensive Chinese Course | 2013

The Chinese class is highly conversational and interactive. Every student will get a chance to speak up in class and practice what they have learned. This way, I eliminated my fear of speaking a foreign language and become more confident in my Chinese. Overall, I have a very pleasant experience learning Chinese in inlingua!

I am very grateful studying at inlingua (in) Singapore. I have a very good experience with (my) Chinese teacher, staff and environment here. Thank you all for being part of my good time here.

NATHIYAH | Full-Time Chinese Course | 2013

I attended 2 mandarin modules at Inlingua nearby Somerset MRT. The courses were taught in small groups and the teachers made it really interactive, fun and easy to learn. The class usually begins with a revision of the last one and you have to do exercices at home for the next one so that you progress quite quickly through the different topics covered in a module. Studying material contain exercices, texts and vocabulary list. Pros: not too expensive, small groups, fun Cons: wish the material was richer in content and that an audio CD was provided to practise at home

Indonesian

'Monita...demonstrated a willingness to modify her teaching methods based on her student's needs and personalities. [She had an] impressive demeanour with students, a great sense of humour, and maintained a positive classroom environment. She is an insightful teacher who pays attention to her students, has a great rapport with the class...and good at praising and giving precise feedback, which was...motivating.'

Japanese

I am amazed how engaging and devoted my teacher (Fumi) is! I am so happy with the lesson experience.

Sherri T. | Part-Time Japanese Course | 2017

Overall my class and teacher (Fumi) was a very encouraging environment for me to learn. It was not stiff and focused only on just academic but on the practicality of learning the language as well. my teacher was also very kind to provide supplement materials to further enhance our learning such that we can learn in a functional manner.”

Korean

Teacher has been very accommodating and understanding.

Yee JY | Part-Time Korean Course | 2017

Effective learning, friendly and approachable teacher!

Jane G. | Part-Time Korean Course | 2017

Love the course! Excellent material and my teacher is super competent!
We learn a lot and lessons are fun as we do role-plays and interactive
activities. Timing is perfect as it's after working hours and the
location is convenient. Plus: good value for money (Book + CD included),
lessons are in Korean only, we speak a lot, convenient location. Minus:
homework! :-)

Took three courses in Korean and was very satisfied with the methodology and the material given. Lessons are very interactive with role plays and fun activities. The teacher was great and we learnt a lot. I can still remember was I was taught. I pity work took most of my free time during the week, but I'm considering joining another course on weekends. Apparently there are courses available on Saturday. I will certainly recommend taking a course at inlingua. Good value for money and good learning environment.

Malay

Friendly and approachable teacher (Asiah) who is well-liked by her students. Patient and dedicated, she took the time to answer our class's questions in detail, often supplementing the course notes with her own materials and activities. Her smile (and treats!) never failed to brighten our moods. Taking this Malay course has been a true joy because of her. She is truly 'bagus' (excellent)!

Wai Kit O. | Part-Time Malay Course | 2017

Nurul is patient and helpful. She encourages us to ask questions and is engaging. Class is enjoyable and the teaching is clear.

Susan S. | Part-Time Malay Course | 2017

Cikgu Asiah is a patient teacher and I have enjoyed her lessons. She goes an extra mile to give good explanation and good examples in relation to the topic so as to enhance our understanding of it. Thank you Cikgu Asiah.

Irene T. | Part-Time Malay Course | 2017

Mdm Asiah (Harun) is a wonderful teacher! She put in a lot of effort into helping us learn Malay with tips and tricks, extra information, personalised statements specific to our occupation and lives. She brings extra materials to enhance our learning experience, and goes above and beyond what is expected of a teacher.

Nicole W. | Part-Time Malay Course | 2017

I just came back from my first class after impulsively taking the class after finding this Malay class here on Yago. I am really glad I did. The school is located right beside the Somerset MRT so it was easy for me to get to. This place is only 5 minute walk from the station. I also liked the small class size. We currently have 8 people in our class. Most importantly, our teacher Izwan was great. I had a great time learning. Can't wait for class #2. If there is a negative, I was told today that they will be having two written and one oral exam. Exams I could do without.

Thai

Our Thai teacher Rasa Salakij makes every single lesson very interactive and exciting. She is very approachable and helps every student to achieve their best and fluency in the language. Her methods are very effective to make Thai as a new language very engaging and easy to learn and to remember, which greatly enables the students to speak with confidence and proficiency. Big thumbs up to Rasa!

Janice L. | Part-Time Thai Course | 2017

Kru Kay goes all the way out to coach us. She is even open to our questions beyond her teaching time. Khorp Khun Krup Kru Kay!!!

Vietnamese

Learning a new foreign language, especially as a working adult, is challenging. Nevertheless, the staff has made my learning journey so much more pleasant. The premise and the logistics provided also provided me a conducive environment to explore the new language with ease.

Ms Linh, my Vietnamese instructor, often went beyond the normal stipulated official hours to try to get me to converse in my new-found language. To me, this is important as picking a new language requires more consistent practice to allow the retention to move beyond the short-term memory. Her teaching methodology has allowed me to pick up this difficult language easier. Her creativity and enthusiasm in teaching has also made the daily 6 hours lessons much more bearable. The introduction of learning the language through songs and culture also allows one to retain the language better.

The teacher is also sensitive to moderating the pace of learning for the student. She is able to sense when the student can take in newer concepts or when the student is already saturated. Her teaching method is therefore not dogmatic and this flexibility allows the student to progress at his/her own pace.

I have learned much from the Vietnamese course provided by inlingua; beyond just the syntax and the Vietnamese language principles. I have been given a better insight into the culture and psyche of the Vietnamese of today, which will be very helpful in my future work.

Tan E. | Full-Time Vietnamese Course | 2017

Mrs Teh (is) very good.

Wong K. W. | Part-time Vietnamese Course | 2017

Learning a foreign language is a challenging task...

but the school and the teachers make it simple for us to understand...(special recommendation to Teacher Linh).

Learning the language from.. [native speakers] is one of the key points why I chose inlingua. Thank you!

Maurice | Part-time Vietnamese Course | 2015

I want to say a big “thank you” to our Vietnamese teacher and the other staff at inlingua. Our teacher sparked our interest in Vietnamese and made each class very enjoyable through games and interaction. Furthermore, she is a native speaker and is able to educate us about how the various parts of Vietnam have different slang (e.g Hanoi vs HCM).

In addition, she is very patient, encouraging and always approachable (even outside lesson time) whenever we have any questions. The classes are not too large and allowed the teacher to focus on each and every student. The course is structured and the materials provided are good for revision

TH | Part-time Vietnamese Course | 2015

To pick up a new language can be very challenging from my previous experiences. However, inlingua has changed my perspective. The interactive and passionate teaching by Linh has made learning much more enjoyable, classroom facilities are also well maintained with great accessibility...right in town... Highly recommended!
